New distribution and foodplant observations for several Coleoptera species in the Tasmanian Central Highlands, Summer 2017

摘要

As a continuation of our research into the ecology of the Miena jewel beetle, Castiarina insculpta Carter 1934 (Spencer & Richards 2014, Richards & Spencer 2016) and that of Castiarina rudis Carter 1934, eight survey excursions to various parts of the Central Highlands were conducted between January and March of 2017. While the principal focus of the investigation was Buprestidae, observations of species of Lucanidae and Cerambycidae were also recorded.
